This Land Rover Import is a standard European model Defender VIN SALLDHAC7BA249375 NOT an NAS.
This European spec, 2.5 na Diesel is NOT a gas guzzler V8, rather a fuel economic reliable fuel injection diesel.

We are a registered importer with US Customs and bring these vehicles in under the laws and regulations enforced by the CBP.
No additional marked up shipping costs, Import fees, or Broker fees.
This Land Rover was selected and purchased in person, evaluated as a good stock vehicle, and fitted with a few upgrades. We go through great detail to tune and update any necessary item to bring them to top condition. 
We have a list of documents to support its maintenance record.
This really is a unique solid and nice looking Land Rover.

Here are the most recent upgrades;

New Paint
New Power Steering Box, Pump, and Hoses
All New Rubber door seals
All New Rubber vent seals
All New Rubber Windscreen seal
New Exmoor Trim Black canvas top
New Heat System
New Shocks front and rear
New Fan Belt
New Polykote bed liner
New diamond plate lining in the rear of cab side access tool boxes, plus new cylinder locks

The 2.5 na diesel engine is in excellent running order. Its a solid example of why these fuel economic diesel engines are used worldwide.  They're reliable fuel injection engines that are simple to work on which run smooth. Its not exceptionally fast, it has a comfortable cruising speed of 65-75mph, greater that it maintains a straight smooth motion, however the nature of Defenders is they get louder as they move faster. These all wheel drive trucks are built to last not go fast, but excellent all around vehicles.

We did not equip this Defender with A/C since it's a convertible, but we did add a new heat system since Defenders have notoriously poor factory heating systems.

We kept some of the original integrity as an ex military such as the center dash lighting instrument panel, and the pintle tow hitch.

We have good project photos to verify that this was a good stock vehicle free of rust on the bulkhead and doors, and to show the standard solid condition truck we upgraded from.
We will email upon request.
No copy cats only serious inquires please.

 

We're very happy with the outcome of this Defender and confident to sell it as stated.

Thank you for your interest.

Jaguar appoints Joe Eberhardt as North American President

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

Jaguar Land Rover North America has appointed a new president, Joachim Eberhardt. The German exec, 50, had previously done stints at Chrysler Group, DaimlerChrysler UK, Mercedes-Benz USA and Daimler-Benz.
Eberhardt joins JLR NA in a good, but challenging time for the company. It's fresh off the launch of the Range Rover Sport and Jaguar F-Type, which have been subject to rave reviews, and its overall sales are up 21 percent over 2012. Still, as Automotive News points out, the two manufacturers face a fight to become the equal of A-list competitors like BMW and Mercedes in the eyes of consumers.
"Joe brings a proven industry track record and valuable global leadership experience in luxury sales, service and marketing. We look forward to Joe leading our North American team in working with our retail networks to further grow the business and better serve our customers," JLR's group sales operations director, Andy Goss, said.

Brabus takes on Range Rover Sport with Startech widebody kit

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Of all the tuners this side of AMG, none are as close to Mercedes-Benz as Brabus. After all, when Daimler needed a tuner to spruce up the Smart car, it was Brabus that it turned to. But Brabus tunes vehicles other than Mercedes - it just uses, let's call it, a pen name. It brands them Startech, like the widebody kit it's developed for the new Range Rover Sport and will present at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
The modifications center around the carbon fiber body panels Brabus (excuse us, Startech) has developed for the British sport-ute that give it over two inches of added width. The wider fender flares encompass 23-inch wheels that are forged, ceramic-coated, skinned with low-profile rubber and fitted to a lowered suspension. The front and rear bumpers have been redone in plastic and can be fitted with or without the wider fenders, and there's a three-piece roof spoiler at the back.
Startech is also offering an upgrade for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo-diesel V6 that squeezes out an extra 31 horsepower and 59 pound-feet of torque for a total of 323 hp and 501 lb-ft, dropping the 0-62 time from 7.2 seconds to 6.9. The German tuner also has a wide array of interior modifications on offer, details of which you can read about in the press release below and scope out in the high-resolution image gallery above.

Jaguar Land Rover opens winter testing facility in Minnesota

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

As it begins the rollout of the all-wheel-drive Jaguar XJ and XF models, Jaguar Land Rover has just announced that it has opened a new facility in northern Minnesota for winter testing. Located in International Falls, MN (on the US and Canadian border), the British automaker says it is one of the coldest locations in the Continental US. Jaguar's new Instinctive All Wheel Drive system was developed primarily to help sell more cars in the northern US, so it only makes sense to open a testing area in the US as well.
With temperatures that can drop to minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit, International Falls was chosen to mimic some of the worst weather a Jaguar or Land Rover will ever see. The grounds house testing chambers, various road surfaces and even a frozen lake. This new facility complements the hot-weather testing grounds in Phoenix, AZ.
The official press release is posted below.
